I recently planned a wedding dinner and wanted to blow away the crowd. I've eaten more than a few French dinners while live classical guitar was performed, but never before by someone of Matthew's caliber. His reviews seemed good so we exchanged a few emails before booking. He's great to "talk" with and a lot of fun. But a true professional as well and he helped me fine tune a few things to achieve what I wanted. He arrived before us and was all set up without us having to worry about anything, as he promised. Then the music started and it was everything I remembered but better. I was thinking the crowd didn't really appreciate his playing during the conversation but I got my satisfaction when the first round of applause broke out at the end of Leyenda. I asked him to play that at a certain time and he did without me reminding him. More rounds of applause later that night. When it came time for him to leave according to our agreement, he discreetly asked if I wanted him to play his favorite song and of course I said yes. Another favorite song for me and since it was something of a gift, it was the most appreciated

Matt provided background music for our rehearsal dinner and cocktails. He played a great mix of music that included both classical guitar (with a Latin flair) with some contemporary songs mixed in. He also learned a special request ahead of time to play for the couple. His communication was great, he showed up on time and his performance style really added to the ambiance of the dinner. For my next one, we will hire him for both the dinner and the wedding. Definitely recommend him.

I saw Matt perform at Mission Dolores in San Francisco. Everyone was captivated by his music and in addition to superb talent, Matt was also professional, friendly, and charismatic. Guests loved him and he'd be a fantastic addition to anybody's big day.
